In this episode, we continue our Movement Ready Church series, focusing on two common myths that hinder churches from fully living out their mission with Jesus—the Equipping Myth and the Empowerment Myth. Looking at Matthew 28, Ephesians 4, and 1 Corinthians 12, we’re reminded that the church isn’t just called to fill roles or offer teaching—it’s called to equip and empower people to use their God-given gifts for Kingdom impact. We’ll unpack why training requires more than just teaching, and how true empowerment comes not from filling spots, but from activating the Spirit’s potential in each believer.

In this episode, Pastor PJ Noland shares his heart in response to recent events and points us to God’s Word for guidance. He unpacks what it means to live faithfully as Christians in an ever-changing world, reminding us of our calling and hope in Christ.

In part 3 of A MOVEMENT READY CHURCH titled, Expanding Our Impact Beyond Programming, we explore what it truly means to be a movement-ready church rooted in the Great Commission. Drawing from Matthew 28:19–20 and Acts 1:8, we unpack three essential elements—Spiritual Renewal, Disciple-Making Conviction, and Organizational Clarity—that shift ministry from programs to people. We’ll also confront the Execution Myth, the belief that church impact is defined by internal ministry alone, and discover how true transformation happens when believers carry the mission into their circles of influence. Tune in as we challenge assumptions, rethink our roles, and embrace the call to live on mission every day.
